<p><i>TIFFReadRGBATile</i> reads a single tile of a
tile-based image into memory, storing the result in the user
supplied RGBA <i>raster</i>. The raster is assumed to be an
array of width times length 32-bit entries, where width is
the width of a tile (TIFFTAG_TILEWIDTH) and length is the
height of a tile (TIFFTAG_TILELENGTH).</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> values are the offsets from the
top left corner to the top left corner of the tile to be
read. They must be an exact multiple of the tile width and
length.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Note that the raster is assume to be organized such that
the pixel at location (<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>) is
<i>raster</i>[<i>y</i>*<i>width</i>+<i>x</i>]; with the
raster origin in the <i>lower-left hand corner</i> of the
tile. That is bottom to top organization. Edge tiles which
partly fall off the image will be filled out with
appropriate zeroed areas.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Raster pixels are 8-bit packed red, green, blue, alpha
samples. The macros <i>TIFFGetR</i>, <i>TIFFGetG</i>,
<i>TIFFGetB</i>, and <i>TIFFGetA</i> should be used to
access individual samples. Images without Associated Alpha
matting information have a constant Alpha of 1.0 (255).</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>See the <i>TIFFRGBAImage</i>(3TIFF) page for more details
on how various image types are converted to RGBA values.</p>

<h2>NOTES</h2>

<p>Samples must be either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bits.
Colorimetric samples/pixel must be either 1, 3, or 4 (i.e.
<i>SamplesPerPixel</i> minus <i>ExtraSamples</i>).</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>Palette image colormaps that appear to be incorrectly
written as 8-bit values are automatically scaled to
16-bits.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p><i>TIFFReadRGBATile</i> is just a wrapper around the more
general <i>TIFFRGBAImage</i>(3TIFF) facilities. It&rsquo;s
main advantage over the similar <i>TIFFReadRGBAImage()</i>
function is that for large images a single buffer capable of
holding the whole image doesn&rsquo;t need to be allocated,
only enough for one tile. The <i>TIFFReadRGBAStrip()</i>
function does a similar operation for stripped images.</p>

<p><b>No &quot;PhotometricInterpretation&quot; tag, assuming

how to display it, but because it has 1 sample/pixel, it is
